I know all the words to the Polaroid Swinger ad from the '60s, and yet it still takes over my brain for days at a time.
Meet the Swinger, Polaroid Swinger.
It's not just a camera, it's almost alive,
It's only nineteen dollars, and ninety-five...
Tact is just not saying true stuff. I'll pass.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Sometimes the best way for me to get rid of an ohrwurm is to sing it out loud.. Preferably in a private, non-embarrassing place.

Even though I love Liszt, I sometimes can't help but hear:
"We start out with an English muffin,
then add cheese and egg and somethin',
really good, Canadian bacon,
that is how we go 'bout makin'--
Breakfast! McDonald's breakfast!
Made from the very best ingredients, we do it all for you"
And like Theodosia, I just have to sing it out.

Could someone explain the 10 dollar beer cup to me. Does it afford you unlimited access to the keg? How do frats turn a profit on that?
I thought this was the best arc resolution episode yet which is partly thanks to the shortness, partly thanks to the well-madiness of the arc.

It does afford you all you can drink, but most don't drink more than a couple of cups, so they subsidize the truly wasted. Plus, it's not really meant to turn a profit. Break even would be nice, but as long as the losses aren't substantial, they're probably happy.

I see that DX is also wasting brain cells on the Polaroid Swinger jingle.
Swing it up
It says yes
Take the shot
Count it down
Zip it off

Why do they do it then? So confused.

Well, they want beer at the party, and this helps defray costs. Also, making sure that only official beer cups are used makes the tracking of minors easier (can't drink if you're under 21 in the US), and is probably a restriction forced upon them by the college.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Raise money for the frat or cover other costs. The budget for student activities may cover some cost of the party as well. I would guess, what, 500 students came to that? They could recover about ~$4000, which pretty much takes care of the cost of alcohol, and maybe the band.

I used to have one. In fact, I may still have it.
